Abstract: Molding device comprises a frame (1) in which at least one flexible band (2) is arranged, and has a front inner end fixed to a front transverse rod (3) and a rear pulling end supported by a rear transverse rod, where the rear transverse rod (4) is arranged on a first power transmission device with which the band is moved forward for folding, and a holding position is provided between front inner end and rear pulling end, in which the front transverse rod of the inner end can be moved. The rear transverse rod with the band can be laid on the front inner end via first power transmission device. Molding device comprises a frame (1) in which at least one flexible band (2) is arranged, and has a front inner end fixed to a front transverse rod (3) and a rear pulling end supported by a rear transverse rod, where the rear transverse rod (4) is arranged on a first power transmission device with which the band is moved forward for folding, and a holding position is provided between the front inner end and the rear pulling end, in which the front transverse rod of the inner end can be moved. The rear transverse rod with the band lying on it can be laid on the front inner end via the first power transmission device and the frame is designed such that the band is located in a filling position with inner end and pulling end in the frame, which are arranged at a distance from each other, so that the food to be formed can be placed on the band. The front transverse rod of the inner end can be moved into the holding position for transferring the band into a molding position, then the pulling end on the first power transmission device, together with the rear transverse rod can be placed on the outside of the inner end for forming a tube. The rear transverse rod is fixed to the pulling end between the outer side of the front inner end and the rear transverse rod is passed, so that the pulling end can be pulled out towards the front to reduce the diameter of the tube. The rear transverse rod is displaced such that the pulling end rests on the outer side of the front inner end and the pulling end is pulled to the front to reduce the diameter of the tube. The front transverse rod and rear transverse rod are mounted along a guide or rack on the frame in linearly movable manner, where the second power transmission device drives the front transverse rod via an impeller or gear linearly in the direction of the holding position. The first power transmission device drives the rear transverse rod via impeller or gear linearly in the direction of the holding position. The front transverse rod is transferred via a second power transmission device into the holding position. The first power transmission device and the second power transmission device are coupled with each other via a power transmission such that a movement of the second power transmission device forcibly causes movement of the first power transmission device, and the front transverse rod and the rear transverse rod are automatically transferred into the holding position.
